Hematology is a branch of medicine which involves the study of blood in health and diseases. Individuals may get affected by several blood related diseases such as blood cancer, anemia, bleeding disorders that includes hemophilia, blood clots, and some others. Hematology includes the problems with the red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, bone marrow, spleen, lymph nodes, blood vessels, and proteins involved in the clotting and bleeding. A Hematologist is a medical doctor who deals with diagnosis, treatment, and overall management of individuals with blood disorders. The specialists use the hematology instruments for testing, counting, analyzing and measuring of red blood cells, platelets, and white blood cells. These instruments are used for regular and critical testing in clinical laboratories, and further helps to provide the solution to physicians and healthcare providers.

Growing population with blood related disorders globally is driving the hematology market
According to data given by Leukemia and Lymphoma society (LLS) in 2015, around 9.8% of the population in the United States was diagnosed with leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma. The data given by National Hemophilia Foundation shows that approximately 400,000 people are suffering from hemophilia in U.S.. Growing population with the blood related disorders is the major factor driving the growth of hematology market. The hematology instruments are showing the transition from traditional instruments to semi-automated instruments and to the recent automated instruments. For instance, Beckman Coulter’s automatic hematology analyzer Unicel DxH slidemaker strainer cellular analysis system has a ‘load and go’ feature that provides the most advanced slide making technology. This analyzer is supported by DxH SMS software that is helping to increase the productivity of diagnostic laboratories. Adoption of this automated instruments by diagnostic laboratories is also owing to the growth of hematology market. Additionally, some advancements in the research areas such as genetic therapies, stem cell research, proteomics, pharmacogenomics, and bleeding disorders, is the another factor contributing to the progress of hematology market. However, the high cost of hematology instruments, stringent and time consuming regulatory policies for hematology analyzers, and hematology product recalls are some restraints that might hinder the growth of hematology market.
